** Description changed:

  I downloaded the 'live' CD images of the daily 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu 
Intrepid Ibex builds from August 23, 2008.
  I burned the images to CD.
  I tried using both CDs on my two home desktop computers which each had an 
Adaptec PCI SCSI controller installed.
  Neither CD would boot up with an Adaptec PCI SCSI controller installed, but 
both computers would boot up with no error messages when there was no Adaptec 
PCI SCSI controller installed.
  I assume this is a problem because Ubuntu does not tolerate the on-board BIOS 
on PCI SCSI controllers but I have no prior knowledge of Ubuntu (or linux in 
general).
  I downloaded the 'live' CD images of the daily 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu 
Intrepid Ibex builds from August 26, 2008, with similar results.
- The screens that result when booting up with an Adaptec PCI SCSI controller 
installed are as follows:
+ I downloaded the 'live' CD images of Debian Live Lenny Beta 1 and they would 
not boot up with the Adaptec PCI SCSI controllers installed either.
+ I downloaded a 'live' CD of OpenSUSE 11.0 and it would boot up with the 
Adaptec PCI SCSI controllers installed so I assume the problem is peculiar to 
Ubuntu and Debian linux distributions.
+ The screens that result when booting up Ubuntu Intepid Ibex builds with an 
Adaptec PCI SCSI controller installed are as follows:
